60年代和70年代美国最重要的冲浪摄影师

由夏威夷岛民在五个多世纪前发明的冲浪在20世纪50年代开始在大陆达到巅峰——它不仅成了一项运动，还成为一种生活方式，在全球得到推崇和传播。那个时候，从1931年开始冲浪的LeRoy Grannis是主要的图像制作者之一。他开始拍摄20世纪60年代初加利福尼亚和夏威夷的长形冲浪板时代。

这个Bibliotheca Universalis版本重新带来了Grannis惊险的、售罄的收藏版，里面的照片都是从这位摄影师的个人档案馆挑选出来的，用小巧和实惠的模式展示他最具活力的作品。

At a time when surfing is more popular than ever, it's fitting to look back at the years that brought the sport into the mainstream. Developed by Hawaiian Islanders over five centuries ago, surfing began to peak on the mainland in the 1950s-becoming not just a sport, but a way of life, admired and exported across the globe. One of the key image-makers from that period is LeRoy Grannis, a surfer since 1931, who began photographing the longboard era of the early 1960s in both California and Hawaii.This edition brings back Grannis's hair-raising, sold-out Collector's Edition, curated from the photographer's personal archives, to showcase his most vibrant work in a compact and affordable format-from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu's famed North Shore.An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than any other photographer of the time. He also covered the emerging surf lifestyle, from "surfer stomps" and hordes of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era-a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best.
